The Swiss standard, which is basically Europlug with a staggered earth pin, seems a step up from Schuko. You can fit three of them in the space of one Schuko socket.
There’s a newer standard which is meant to be international, and which is like a slightly smaller version of the Swiss plug, but only Brazil has fully adopted it (IIRC, South Africa is in the process of moving to it)
Not sure about the step up thing.
I see several tradeoffs being made to gain a size benefit, which is lost again the moment you realize you can’t have reversable angled plugs any more…

And that is why Italian plugs are the best of all, compact, robust, reversible and safe. 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
